Thanks for including me! This is the best video I've ever seen on the topic, and I'm definitely going to borrow many of these ideas while filming my next series 😀

[LimitlessMinds]

Best Video Ever about creating video programming tutorials, gave me a new direction about creating my tutorials. Thank you so much

[brett]

Thanks for sharing. One of my pet hates on coding tuts is forced humour and constant memes being played

[mhavock]

Good stuff! You covered good points like "show the correct way first". Thanks!

[arindamdasgoogledeveloper]

It's so much in one video bro. Got your listen couple of times. Nice and yeah I will be live

[robsonsilv.]

Great video!
I'll start making some videos and this tips are very helpful.

Valuable recommendations. Especially: 1) don't shortchange time spent explaining WHY something is done cuz learners won't internalize the how without full context, 2) outline key objectives required to solve a problem and introduce the terminology, 3) show common errors, especially if they are a sure sign the viewer missed a key recommendation that avoids that error.
One key suggestion on physical environment... If recording in front of a bookcase or shelves, PAY ATTENTION to everything visible... book titles, knick knacks, etc.

Greg knows what he is talking about. Smash hit as a young man who in a way invented the viral coding programming videos.

[kurshadqaya]

Still the best guide. I am constantly visiting it.

Awesome well-curated knowledge! Love from India ♥
PS: You can use OBS Studio (absolutely free) for recording screens.

That zooming thing is something I have a hard time with when people do in tutorials. Both in the editor and in the browser.
And while I'm on it. The next thing with the red circle on the mouse pointer after click is hard to watch.

Other than that. This is a really good tutorial video on how to make a good tutorial video. And Brad Traversy is the best.

[omaryahia]

this is so amazing and detailed, I hope I manage to apply some of it

[gameonvinay]

I see brad traversy I am happy. He is the best.
